| Notes |
- Janet Louise WALTER was born in Ward 6 of the Geelong Hospital on 30 Nov 1950. Unfortunately, she was afflicted by severe Down's Syndrome and suffered a severe congenital mental deficiency.
Little is known of her short life but we do know that she was admitted to Kew Cottages on 1 May 1951 where she progressed fairly well until 17 May 1951. She became very ill and died at 4:00 p.m. on 21 May 1951.
On 25 May 1951 an inquest (No. 706 of 1951) was held into her death (No. 5292 of 1951) and the cause of death was established as broncho-pneumonia. The undertaker employed for her funeral was W.V. Raven, 227 Smith St., Fitzroy. She is buried at the Springvale Botanical Cemetery in an unmarked grave (Ref. No. 161510, C of E Area, Denominational Grave, Location L19/23) in an area where unmarked graves seem to be the norm.
